Eastern Province Cement Co.

You can find us at Plot No. 5 in Patna, Bihar. We have been dealing with cement for quite some time now. Patna is a busy place to be, and Plot No. 5 is situated where we can get the trucks in and out without too much trouble, though the roads can be a bit bumpy. We handle a lot of heavy bags every day. It’s a dusty job, and by the end of the shift, everyone is covered in a fine grey powder. We don't mind it much. It’s just the nature of the cement business. We don't have a big fancy office with air conditioning. We just have a desk and some chairs in a small corner of the warehouse. People come in to buy a few bags for their home repairs or larger amounts for bigger projects. We just give them the price and help them load it if they need a hand. The weather in Bihar gets very hot in the summer, which makes moving the bags even harder. We drink a lot of water and try to get the heavy lifting done early in the day. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s steady. We don't use any marketing tricks. We just sell the cement at the current market rate and that’s about it. There’s always construction happening in the city, so we stay busy enough. We just focus on keeping the stock ready for whoever stops by.
